Project Overview

Almost all people think they’re self-aware, but only a few people truly are. We are not taught at school how to develop self-knowledge or deal with mental issues. Which decreases student's well-being and their achievements in the future. I created an app with free mental support to use at schools, helping these students with their paths and self-discovery.
